Growing Tip
This heat-loving crop should be sown after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm.
Seeds sown too early will rot before germination. Black-eyed peas are extremely drought tolerant, so excessive watering should be avoided.
Harvesting Black-eyed Beans
For fresh use, pick pods as soon as well-filled out with seeds.
For dried bean use, harvest about 80 days after the seeds sprout.

They didn’t grow as tall as I had hoped, and the beans were smaller than I expected. However, the plants were easy to care for and produced a decent amount of beans. I’ll probably try a different variety next time.

These black-eyed beans from mtseeds were a great purchase! Seeds germinated quickly and grew into strong and healthy plants. I was amazed at how many beans each plant produced. The beans were tasty and perfect for soups. Highly recommended!
